FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Moab Speed 2 has a standard athletic fit, but the lace-up closure provides some adjustability to accommodate varying foot shapes.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the EVA foam footbed is removable, making it easy to swap in custom orthotics for added support.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt. Avoid fully submerging the shoe in water.
Are these shoes good for winter hiking?
They offer excellent water protection, but they are not insulated; they are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn conditions.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram TC5+ outsole?
The Vibram TC5+ is specifically designed for high-traction performance on mixed terrain and features a self-cleaning lug pattern.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe
Ensure the shoe is not saturated and that you are wearing moisture-wicking socks; verify if the leather needs a re-application of a waterproofing treatment.
Foot discomfort or pinching
Adjust the recycled laces to ensure an even distribution of pressure across the instep, or check that the EVA foam footbed is properly seated.
Debris accumulation in the tread
While the outsole is designed to shed debris, if buildup persists, use a firm nylon brush to clear the gaps between the lugs after your hike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure the fit is snug but allows for slight foot swelling during long walks; check this by wearing the socks you intend to use on the trail. To maintain the life of your Moab Speed 2 shoes, wipe off excess mud with a soft brush after each outing. If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and the leather material. Periodically treat the leather upper with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and maintain its waterproof barrier.
